a bit of laugh + a bite of sanity - thursday 5th June 2008

Thursday – 5^th June 2008

A stranger was seated next to a little girl on the airplane.

He turned to her and said, 'Let's talk. I've heard that flights go quicker if you strike up a conversation with your fellow passenger.

The little girl, who had just opened her book, closed it slowly and said to the stranger, 'What would you like to talk about?'

'Oh, I don't know,' said the stranger. 'How about nuclear power?' and he smirks.

'OK, ' she said. 'That could be an interesting topic. But let me ask you a question first.

A horse, a cow, and a deer all eat the same stuff – grass.

Yet a deer excretes little pellets, while a cow turns out a flat patty, and a horse produces clumps of dried grass. Why do you suppose that is?'

The stranger, visibly surprised by the little girl's intelligence, thinks about it and says, 'Hmmm, I have no idea.

The little girl then says

'Do you really feel qualified to discuss nuclear power when you don't know shit?’

 

vasus musings

why take false pride

in our possessions

tangible or intangible [knowledge]

and try to take others for a ride?

 

lets not forget that everything

starting with our breathing

is just a borrowing

if not a supreme gift

 

if at all there is any

then humility

is the only qualification

of real knowledge
